The 'M' on Vegeta's forehead in Dragonball Z
The King of the Seahorses
his forehead and is trying to kill Goku. I've mised most of the episodes
since the end of the Cell saga, so could anyone fill me in on what the
significance of the M is? It's also on the head of the big, red devil guy
hanging around with Babadi(?).

Well according to an e-mail from Cartoon Network the current viewing
figures for new Dragonball Z episodes has reached 192,000 no wait that's
not what you wanted to know
Babadi is a wizard, he has the power to control those with an evil
heart. Goku is only on earth for 24 hours. Vegeta has always wanted to
prove that he was the better saiyan and beat a low class saiyan like
Goku because he's the prince. Vegeta was aware during battles that no
matter how hard he trained goku would always be one step ahead of him.
Vegeta made note during the tourny that Babadi had the power to increase
the strength of those under his control. Vegeta shrugged aside any
goodness in him and allowed babadi to control him so that he would
become far superior to goku.he did become stronger (and was strong
enough to repell babadi from controlling him fully) so he faught goku
(only after killing lots of people and pissing off goku) the M on his
forehead and those on others simbalise their increase power and control
by babadi. However Vegeta has realised that even with this increase in
power he can only match goku and not surpass his power. So he knocked
goku out and is now going to take on Buu.

Molokidan the Super Sushi-jin
and release this demon called Majin Buu, which IS pure evil. He interrupted
the tournament by trying to suck everyone's energy there, and so 'the gang'
chased two of his men back to his hideout. There, they started to fight, and
eventually, made it down to the bottom, destroying his spaceship, and
revealing the egg, which was nearly at full power. In between, Babidi turns
Vejita under his control, since Vejjie has so much evil still in him, it was
easy for Babidi to take control. Gokou chases after him, and Vej goes back
to the tournament and kills about half the people there. They go fight.
Gohan tries desperately to destroy it at the last second, but fails, and Buu
is released, a pink fat demon. He beats up Gohan (alot), and Piccolo, Goten,
Trunks, and Vejita eventually arrive back on the scene. Gokou has knocked
some sense into him, and so he eventually, as a last resort, tries a
kamikaze attack on Buu. . .That's the last episode that's come out so far.

Rev. Otana, "I am Ted"
Right, the M stands for "majin" which means "evil being"
in Japanese. Babidi is a madoushi (sorceror) who has
come to Earth to resurrect a demon called Majin Boo that
his father Bibidi created thousands of years ago. Majin
Boo was created from pure evil and killed four of five
Kaiohshins (really really powerful Gods) before being
sealed into a large egg-like ball.
Anyway, present time, and he is trying to collect enough
energy from people on Earth to release Majin Boo from the
ball. By manipulating the evil in peoples' hearts he can
control them and make them far far stronger than they are
normally, and to show they are being controlled a large
black M appears on their forehead. One such being is
Darbura Daimaoh (Darbura, the king of the underworld) --
since he has so much evil in his heart he becomes immensely
strong.
The remaining Kaiohshin not killed by Boo arrives on Earth
with his assistant, Kibito to search for Babidi and Boo before
they can destroy the world. Enter Gokuh and the others --
they meet Kaiohshin and Kibito at the Tenkaichi Budoukai (Babidi knows the
strongest people in the world will be there, increasing his chances of
collecting lots of energy). Kaiohshin allows two of Babidi's lackies to
steal energy from Gohan so they can follow them to where Babidi is hiding.
Once there, Darbura turns Klilyn and Piccolo to stone and lures Gokuh, Gohan
and Vegeta into Babidi's spaceship to get revenge. There, they fight
several strong villains at which Vegeta gets increasingly irritated,
snapping and yelling at Gokuh that he doesn't give a shit about saving the
world, he only wants to beat him in a battle, it's the only reason he
entered the Tenkaichi Budoukai.
Suzanne Armer
Rev. Otana, "I am Ted"
Sorry, sent the last mail before I finished it. #^_^#
As you know, Gokuh died at the end of the Cell Game, he has
been granted 24 hours on kono yo, so Vegeta's worried he
won't get a chance to fight him. Babidi uses this to manipulate
him and take over Vegeta, hence the M. Gokuh realises Vegeta
did this on purpose -- they cannot get any closer to Majin Boo
unless Gokuh fights Vegeta, so Vegeta gets his battle.
That's about where you got to, right? HTH. ^_^

Mormons have a few other slightly off-beat characteristics as well.
F'rex, they're heavily into genealogy - to the extent that they run an
on-line genealogical database that is pretty much /the/ reference for
familial relationships within North America and Europe.
They are also, I believe, the only sect that sanctions baptism by
proxy, requiring neither the consent nor even the knowledge of the
baptismee (is that a word? - well, if it isn't it damn well ought to
be). This is taken to the ultimate expression in post mortem baptism.

It is isn't it.
Now if they all brought anime perhaps we'd have a better market in the UK.
Or perhaps a lot of them do buy anime, but they buy the R1 release rather
than wait 6-9 months for the UK release only to find it's a dubtitle. ^_^

No it's not. Most of them wouldn't know anime if it came up to them,
wafted their hair around, blew a load of cherry blossom about the
place and stomped up and down in a BFOR whilst singing a particularly
cheesy bit of j-pop.
Besides, how can you have "taken account the ratio of anime fans to
just DBZ viewers" when there's no way you could know what that ratio
actually is.

Ah, but the Mormons (like every other sect) know that theirs is the One
True Faith, so it's for your own good.

Incidentally, on most keyboards, the Shift keys are located near the bottom
corners. Once you master them, why not try leaving some quoted text for
context, with the attribution line intact?
A very large number of Americans believed that Battle of the Planets
(Gatchaman), Star Blazers (Yamato), and Robotech (Macross, etc.) were
American shows. They can't all have been sub-idiots; the NRA's membership
isn't that high.

You're talking about americans, they're reknowned for being stupid. And
why do you want me to use the shift key?

I think it pays to be a little more careful about making
generalisations like that. How, for example, would you classify
Mysterious Cities of Gold? Or M.A.S.K? (American as Apple Pie, but with
Japanese staff on the production credits) I saw some of Totally Spies
the other day; I've been an anime fan for about ten years and it took a
little amount of adjustment before I could see that it was taking a lot
of cues from Japanese animation, but also obviously wasn't. With some
experience, it is generally fairly easy to tell the difference but
someone new to the genre might not be able to - however smart they may
be.
(I don't want to sound like I'm getting at you, but I do tend to
get something of an allergic reaction to statements like the above)

Yet clever enough to recognize that anime is a product that they
could market both home and abroad to a willing audience...
...amazing how at least some Americans could be intelligent
enough to recognize this and yet be so damn stupid at the same time,
isn't it?
Suzanne Armer
whats anime and what isn't Even Totally Spies, which has American
written all over it. Just like Power Puff Girls and Samurai Jack.
When you watch Laputa in 1989 at the age of 7, you know instantly, this
is not disney, this is not western at all.
I think you're all assuming too much. People aren't as stupid as you
think. Just because you prefer not to call them anime fans doesn't mean
they can't tell the difference.
That's why a lot of fans can look at a picture of totally spies and know
straight away that it's not anime. I did, my friends did, my partner
did, my little kid brother good. The fact that they acted like those
stupid california girls was a huge give away.

Surely they didn't have to dub Thunderbirds, it was originally recorded in

Possibly that Suzanne has probably broken one of the rules of netiquette
when joining any group on Usenet; to lurk for a good long time before
getting involved. It's a mistake that many have made, including me, so
maybe we should all back off a bit.
